This world-famous wine that should be on any oenophile's 'bucket list' has much more in common with top white Burgundy than it does with its next door neighbour Condrieu. The bouquet is quite restrained, so it is a white wine that is well worth decanting to reveal aromas of apples and a faint waft of struck flint. The palate is restrained, complex and minerally with a long haunting finish.

"The 1997 Condrieu Coteaux du Vernon, which was released several months ago, is a fabulous wine from a top-flight Condrieu vintage. It displays lots of definition, underlying minerality, and formidable length. It is one of the great wines made from this steeply terraced vineyard. Look for it to drink well for another 2 years."

The 2009 has a great balance of berry aromas, ripe fruit, sweet tannin and clean acidity. Considering its southern location Domaine de Trévallon is a very vintage sensitive wine and it appears that the 2009 is going to be a classic. This will hit its optimum drinking window in about 5 years time and should drink well for a decade thereafter.
